We are rejoicing in the new table this morning. We are now ready to have more then two people over for dinner. I have a serious love relationship with the two leaves sitting in my closet.
Testing out the new bench! Surprise, this is were you will be sitting for the next 15 years.
We had to break it in with a pb & j (on the english muffins, of course).
How does this fit into the Dave Ramsey plan, you ask? We had a table we bought at a garage sale for $5 for the last 5 years. That was a Dave Ramsey table...and it had served us very well. However, Justin's parents decided to bless us with this beautiful gift as our family grows. Thank you mom and dad Bartlett! Goodbye $5 table with the tiny, hard, squeaky, stained seats. You were well loved, but will not be missed.
Oh wow! What a beautiful present...and it will be filled with love meal after meal. Love it. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is the heart of our home most days. I have so many memories from my own childhood around our table. It was were I learned about hospitality, the joy of banana bread, and the value of family conversations. I can only hope for the same for our kids.
DeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDelete(And is that a storage spot in the bench? Bonus!)
Yes! Possibly my favorite thing (after my two leaves). We have all our bibles in there and it works so nice! Now named: The Bible Bench.
Delete...and in just a few short years you can put Bible Bee Bibles in your Bible Bench. ☺
DeleteLove you and love reading your blog!
Thought of you and Kate with fondness as we ate our Chicken Taco Bowls tonight for supper.
